Local governments are currently calculating property taxes for 2026 and will begin gradually sending out property tax bills at the end of January. Property owners who still receive RPT payment notices in their mailboxes are encouraged to promptly sign up to receive them electronically.
For individuals and legal entities, activating their official e-address requires no additional action, and the municipality will automatically send NĪN payment notices to the official e-address. We remind users of official e-addresses to specify their daily email address in their profile settings so that their inbox always contains information about messages received at their official e-address and they do not miss the property tax payment deadline.
“Delivering property tax payment notices electronically not only means a more convenient and faster flow of information for residents but also provides significant financial savings for local governments. For several years now, as we have been promoting the transition to receiving property tax payment notices electronically and encouraging residents to register an email address or official e-address for this purpose, we have seen a clear trend—the volume of printed notices is gradually decreasing. On average, these costs amount to around 20,000 euros per year for a municipality, but nationwide—more than one million euros, which could be invested in improving residents’ well-being. Receiving payment notices electronically is faster, safer, and cheaper—a logical choice if we want to see responsible use of tax money,” says Edžus Žeiris, developer of the portal www.epakalpojumi.lv and director of SIA “ZZ Dats.”
In 2021, only 25.5% of property tax payment notices for individuals were sent electronically; by 2024, this figure had risen to 41.9%, and by 2025, to 52.1%.
In 2025, several municipalities exceeded the 60% threshold for payment notices delivered electronically to individuals. This was achieved in the municipalities of Ādaži, Kuldīga, Ķekava, Mārupe, Olaine, Preiļi, Saulkrasti, and Tukums.
Over a two-year period, several municipalities managed to significantly increase—by more than 20 percentage points—the number of real estate tax payment notices delivered to individuals. This was achieved for real estate tax payers in the municipalities of Dienvidkurzeme, Mārupe, Saulkrasti, Tukums, and Valka.
If a resident does not have an activated official state e-address, they can sign up on the portal www.epakalpojumi.lv in just a few minutes to receive their property tax payment notice via email:
- Property owners must authenticate themselves on the portal www.epakalpojumi.lv using online banking or e-signature authentication tools.
- In the “Real Estate” section, under “Email and SMS Registration,” you must specify the municipality, email address, and mobile phone number. By providing a mobile phone number, you can sign up for SMS reminders about the approaching real estate tax payment deadline.
- Confirm the accuracy of the entered email address by opening the link in the email confirmation message you received.
Upon activating their official e-address, individuals and legal entities will automatically receive a property tax payment notice from the municipality at their e-address.
If the real estate owner does not have electronic authentication means, the application to receive the real estate tax payment notice electronically can be filled out at municipal customer service centers. If properties are located in different municipalities, a separate application must be submitted to each municipality.
